On the 17's and 18's there is a setting to turn off the volume slider, while keeping the up and down function.I hope they DID kill it. It's more complicated than it needs to be. A simple up/down rocker switch would be better.
In my opinion, getting rid of some of the needlessly complicated gizmos and do-dads and making them simpler would be a step in the right direction.
Giving it another go? :coffeecupThe 2017 CRV had steering wheel toggle that was touch sensitive. That toggle had ridges. The 2019 steering wheel volume control is flat and doesn't appear to support touch. Is this the same with everyone?
To both my and our dealer's surprise, the Clarity has the same ridged volume slider as my 17 CRV, but the slider is disabled. This was after they replaced it to try and get it to work.On the 17's and 18's there is a setting to turn off the volume slider, while keeping the up and down function.

I agree the touch-sensitive volume was kinda fun at first. but that's it. once you start driving in the highway, it becomes useless cause it doesn't have 'fine' enough control over the volume. I basically ended up going too high or too low and had to divert my attention from driving to the volume. If not that, i also kept on accidentally brushing against it which would then change the volume. I just ended up turning it off and just pressing the button was miles better and required less attentionI hope they DID kill it. It's more complicated than it needs to be.
